Baby’s first Halloween is ridiculously cute. Here’s how to turn it into a lasting keepsake.
Photo Keepsakes
- Costume photos: Get a good photo before the costume gets sticky, wet, or torn off in protest.
- Pumpkin comparison: Photograph baby sitting next to a pumpkin each October. The size comparison changes dramatically over the years.
- Trick or treat doorstep: Annual photo at the front door in costume becomes a tradition.
Craft Keepsakes
- Handprint ghost: White paint on baby’s hand, press onto black card, add googly eyes. Instant Halloween art.
- Footprint bat: Black footprints with added wings and ears make adorable bat art.
- Pumpkin handprint: Orange handprint with a green stem drawn on top.
Preserve the Costume
If it’s a particularly adorable costume, save it. Photograph it flat and add it to the memory box. The outfit your five-month-old wore as a pumpkin becomes priceless.
